Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Chapter 15: Academic life in Cambridge (search)
k of this room was, in those days of dawning changes, but a small part of the function of a professor. Longfellow was, both by inclination and circumstances, committed to the reform initiated by his predecessor, George Ticknor. He had inherited from this predecessor a sort of pioneer-ship in position relative to the elective system just on trial as an experiment in college. There exists an impression in some quarters that this system came in for the first time under President Walker about 1853; but it had been, as a matter of fact, tried much earlier,—twenty years, at least,—in the Modern Language Department under Ticknor, and had been extended much more widely in 1839 under President Quincy. The facts are well known to me, as I was in college at that period and enjoyed the beneficent effects of the change, since it placed the whole college, in some degree, for a time at least, on a university basis.

Chapter 17: resignation of Professorship—to death of Mrs. Longfellow On the last day of 1853, Longfellow wrote in his diary, How barren of all poetic production and even prose production this last year has been!

The family absorbs half the time, and letters and visits take out a huge cantle. Yet four days later he wrote, January 4, 1854, Another day absorbed in the college. But why complain? These golden days are driven like nails into the fabric. Who knows but they help it to hold fast and firm? On February 22, he writes, You are not misinformed about my leaving the professorship. I am pawing to get free. On his birthday, February 27, he writes, in the joy of approaching freedom, I am curious to know what poetic victories, if any, will be won this year. On April 19 he writes, At eleven o'clock in No. 6 University Hall, I delivered my last lecture—the last I shall ever delive
